This one (I think) will be difficult due to the angle the photo was shot at. What type of aircraft? Bonus points for the location and for identifying the aircraft visible through the canopy.

I know they’ve been putting some work into the 500 with an eye on getting her flying. The only externally visible progress from June of 2002, though, is stripping the paint from the fuselage and wings. I belive the current project for the crew that will restore the 500 is the Albatross at Amjet.

I didn’t realize Wally had a PV-2, I know there is a C-60 tucked away in the Amjet hangar. The aircraft in the background is Howard 500 #9 N137U
Hi Dan,
Your right Wally has a C-60 not a PV-2, I thought that was the Howard 500 it looks like nothing has been work on since I was out their.

Dan,
Yes its either the PV-2 that Wally owns or its the Super Howard that was there when I stop in 2 years ago.

Have to remember to exclude members of the WIX next time… How about the aircraft in the background?

Hey Dan,
This one is rather easy,
Its the Hawker Seahawk, at Aonaka part of Wally Fisk collections.
